The Black Friday Bushfires
At nearly 5 million acres burned, this Jan. 13, 1939, collection of blazes is still considered one of the largest wildfires in the world. The blazes, sparked by an oppressive heat and carelessness with fire, killed 71 people, destroying entire towns and taking out 1,000 homes and 69 sawmills. About three quarters of the state of Victoria was affected in some way by the blazes, which are considered by the government to be “perhaps the most significant event in the environmental history of Victoria.”http://worldnews.about.com/od/disasters/tp/worstwildfires.htm

Karen Christiana Figueres Olsen is a career international bureaucrat from a family of privileged politicians. Her educational background appears to include anthropology and perhaps some work in botany. There is nothing about her scientific background, career, or accomplishments that suggest that she knows jack ____ about wildfires or their relationship to so called “climate change.”

Both Jose Maria Figueres and Christiana Figueres are involved in private ventures that profit from the United Nations led environmental alarmism, that is supported by people like Richard Branson, Al Gore, Ted Turner and organizations such as the World Wild Fund, and philanthropic organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. All of these people and organizations called for the implementation of policies to drastically reduce the world’s population. –
